equipment can be cascaded into the space with power conditioners, which have
less stringent thermal requirements, thus reducing cooling needs. In winter,
heat from space with power conditioners can be used for heating spaces with a
heating load. In humid climates, this heat can be used for supply air reheat.
D.7.11.4 Simulator Manned Modules Rejects Heat into the Air-
Conditioned Bay, Increasing Cooling Load on Air-Conditioned
System (Waste)
Heat rejected by simulator modules increases cooling load on the air-condition-
ing systems (Figure D239). Heated air from the exhaust grilles can be vented
using a central exhaust system connected to exhaust grilles. In summer heat,
stream from the simulator can be directed outside. In winter, warm air can be
directed to spaces with heating needs.
